I would prefer to drop the audit changes rather than add a new field
to the audit record at this point in time.  Once we have a better
understanding of how things are actually being deployed by distros,
providers, and admins we can make a more reasoned decision on what we
should audit with respect to AT_EXECVE_CHECK.

Beyond that it looks okay to me from a LSM and audit perspective, so
feel free to add my ACK once you've dropped the audit bits.
